Nokia holds only a small portion of LTE patents (compared to all patents related to LTE) see: http://static.cdn-seekingalpha.com/uploads/2012/5/25/925161-13379685416951358-Rookie-IRA-Investor_origin.jpg (I picked LTE to investigate here, as it's the impetus of wireless for the immediate future and the most likely to have a large licensing potential)

Thirty one of the 124 patent families acquired have been declared essential by Nokia to wireless communications standards. Standards represented in the portfolio are commonly known as 2G, 2.5G, 3G and 4G and related technologies and include GSM, WCDMA, T63, T64, DECT, IETF, LTE, SAE, and OMA.

Also, here is the relevant 8K specifically listing which patents are being transferred
Seems many of them are nearing expiration, and only one is related to LTE, filed in 2000. The company seems to be going after unpredictable cash from litigating against infringers, not predictable licensing revenue. This one's going to be a bumpy ride.
